Description

Mounting structure of vehicle shielding component

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a mounting structure of a vehicle shielding member provided in a window.

Background

In recent years, vehicles are equipped with curtain airbag devices for protecting occupants from impact loads from the side, in addition to airbag devices for protecting occupants from impact loads from the front. In this curtain airbag device, the airbag is housed above windows, pillars, and the like constituting the side surfaces of the vehicle body in the vehicle front-rear direction. When an impact load acts from the side, the airbag is inflated by the gas pressure from the inflator, and the airbag is deployed downward along the window glass and the surface of the pillar on the vehicle interior side by deforming or breaking the ceiling covering the roof panel from the vehicle interior side, for example.

On the other hand, in order to ensure privacy or improve comfort in the vehicle interior, a shielding member such as a curtain or a louver for shielding a view from the outside of the vehicle, which is an optional component, may be attached to a side surface of a rear seat of the vehicle body or a rear window. Such a shield member having the curtain airbag function is disclosed in japanese patent laid-open publication No. 11-48902.

However, in the case of a configuration in which the ceiling is deformed downward by the expansion of the airbag and the airbag is deployed downward along the window glass provided on the window on the side of the vehicle body from the gap generated in the vicinity of the side end portion of the ceiling due to the deformation, when the curtain airbag device is operated, if a shielding member such as a curtain or a louver is attached to the window, there is a possibility that the following problem may occur.

That is, such a shielding member is usually attached to the side end portion of the ceiling in a suspended state on the vehicle interior side of the window, and when the curtain airbag device having the above-described structure is installed, if the shielding member is attached to the ceiling, when the curtain airbag device is operated and the airbag is inflated, the airbag enters between the shielding member and the window glass and inflates, and the shielding member is broken or the shielding member is expanded while being forcibly moved toward the vehicle interior side.

Therefore, smooth deployment of the airbag may be hindered, and it is actually difficult to attach a shielding member such as a curtain to a window in the case where the curtain airbag device having the above-described structure is equipped.

In addition, in the case of a configuration in which a curtain airbag device is mounted above the rear surface of the vehicle body, for example, at the upper portion of the back door, and the airbag is deployed downward along the window glass of the window behind the vehicle body, the above-described problem similarly occurs when a shielding member such as a curtain is attached to the window.

Detailed Description

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

(embodiment 1)

As shown in fig. 1, a first-row seat 2, a second-row seat 3, and a third-row seat 4 are provided in a vehicle interior of a vehicle 1 according to embodiment 1 from the front. Further, an a-pillar 5, a B-pillar 6, a C-pillar 7, and a D-pillar (rear pillar) 8 are provided on the vehicle body side surface of the vehicle 1 from the front. A front side door 9 is provided between the a pillar 5 and the B pillar 6, and a rear side door 10 is provided between the B pillar 6 and the C pillar 7. Also, a back door 11 is provided behind the vehicle body.

Window glasses 9a, 10a, and 11a are attached to windows provided in the side doors 9 and 10 and the back door 11, respectively, wherein the window glasses 9a and 10a of the side doors 9 and 10 are vertically openable and closable, and the window glass 11a of the back door 11 is fitted. Further, a rear window 12 is provided between the C-pillar 7 and the D-pillar 8, and a window glass 12a of a built-in type is attached to the rear window 12. That is, the C-pillar 7 is located forward of the rear window 12, and the D-pillar 8 is located rearward of the rear window 12. Curtains 13, 14, and 15 for covering the window glasses 10a, 11a, and 12a from the inside of the vehicle compartment are attached to the rear door 10, the back door 11, and the rear window 12, respectively.

On the other hand, this vehicle 1 is equipped with a curtain airbag device 20 for protecting the occupants of the seats 2, 3, 4 from an impact load from the side, in addition to an airbag device (not shown) for protecting the occupants of the first row seat 2 from an impact load from the front.

As shown in fig. 2, the curtain airbag device 20 includes an airbag 21 and an inflator 23, and the inflator 23 supplies gas pressure for inflation and deployment to the airbag 21 through a supply path 22. The airbag 21 is disposed in a stored state above a side end portion of a soft ceiling (also referred to as a roof trim) 32 covering a roof panel 31 from the vehicle interior side in the vehicle longitudinal direction along upper edge portions of the window glass 9a of the front side door 9, the window glass 10a of the rear side door 10, and the window glass 12a of the rear window 12.

The airbag 21 is inflated by the gas pressure from the inflator 23 when an impact load from the side of the vehicle body acts or when the impact load is predicted to occur. In the vicinity of the rear window 12, the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32 extends to the vicinity of the window glass 12a of the window 12 in a state of being directed to the upper edge portion of the window glass 12 a. The airbag 21 deploys while deforming the ceiling 32 so that the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32 moves downward. More specifically, the airbag 21 is deployed downward along the windowpanes 9a, 10a, and 12a from a gap generated near the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32 due to the deformation of the ceiling 32, so as to protect the occupants of the seats 2, 3, and 4.

At this time, the curtain 13 attached to the rear side door 10 is positioned further to the outside of the vehicle body than the gap generated when the airbag 21 is deployed, and therefore, deployment of the airbag 21 is not hindered. However, the curtain 14 of the rear window 12 is located substantially below the gap, and thus there is a possibility that deployment of the airbag 21 is hindered.

To cope with this, the curtain 14 is supported by the support members 14a, 14b fixed to the window glass 12a so as to be in close proximity to the window glass 12a of the rear window 12, specifically, so that the curtain 14 is positioned further outward in the vehicle width direction than the airbag 21 in the deployed state.

The window glass 12a to which the support members 14a and 14b are fixed is not of an open-close type. The window glass 12a is immovably fixed to a flange 33a 'of an outer panel 33a constituting a part of the roof side rail 33 and a flange 34 a' of an outer panel 34a constituting a part of the rear fender 34.

As shown in fig. 2, the curtain 14 is supported by the support members 14a and 14b in a state where the upper end thereof is positioned above a line D extending in the inflating direction of the airbag 21 of the curtain airbag device 20.

The support members 14a, 14b of the window covering 14 are rail members extending in the vehicle front-rear direction. The support members 14a, 14b support the window covering 14 in the horizontal direction. The support member 14a is fixed to the upper portion of the window glass 12a with a double-sided adhesive tape, and the support member 14B (the 2 nd rail member) is fixed to the lower portion of the window glass 12a with a double-sided adhesive tape in a state parallel to the support member 14a (see fig. 3A showing an expanded state and fig. 3B showing a housed state as viewed from the front of the window glass 12). Thereby, the curtain 14 is unfolded in the vehicle front-rear direction entirely along the window glass 12 a.

The upper rail member 14a supports a portion slightly below the upper end of the window covering 14, and the lower rail member 14b supports the lower end of the window covering 14. This is to prevent the upper rail member 14a from coming into contact with the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32 when the airbag 21 is deployed.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, in a state where curtain airbag device 20 is not operating, upper guide rail member 14a is fixed to window glass 12a at a position spaced apart from side end portion 32a of ceiling 32 in the vehicle width direction by a predetermined distance L, in a state located further to the vehicle outside than side end portion 32 a. This prevents the side end 32a of the ceiling 32, which deforms downward due to the deployment of the airbag 21, from coming into contact with the rail member 14 a.

Further, as shown in fig. 5, if the movement locus R of the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32 that deforms downward as the airbag 21 inflates and deploys is known, it is preferable to fix the rail member 14a to the window glass 12a in a state where the support position of the window covering 14 supported by the rail member 14a is located further to the vehicle outside than the movement locus R. This can more reliably prevent the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32, which is deformed downward by the deployment of the airbag 21, from coming into contact with the rail member 14 a.

The deployment of the airbag 21 at the curtain 14 position will be described below. First, the airbag 21 starts to deploy. The ceiling 32 is deformed by the pressing of the deployed airbag 21, and the side end portion 32a moves downward.

At this time, the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32 comes into contact with the curtain 14, but when the side end portion 32a moves to the vehicle interior side to some extent, the upper end of the curtain 14 is restored to its original shape.

Strictly speaking, the curtain 14 is set to have a dimension in the vehicle height direction such that the curtain 14 is restored from a state of contact with the side end portion 32a to an original state before the airbag 21 is deployed into the vehicle interior over the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32. Because if the size is too long, the airbag 21 may be deployed between the window covering 14 and the windowpane 12a beyond the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32 that contacts the upper end of the window covering 14.

When the airbag 21 is further deployed, the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32 moves toward the vehicle interior side of the curtain 14. The airbag 21 is deployed toward the vehicle interior side of the curtain 14 beyond the side end portion 32a of the ceiling 32. And further spreads downward along the window glass 12a via the curtain 14. Then, as shown in fig. 6, the airbag 21 is completely deployed on the vehicle compartment side of the window 12, covering the window glass 12 a.

According to the present embodiment, the curtain 14 is supported by the rail members 14a, 14b in a state of being positioned further to the outside in the vehicle width direction than the airbag 21 in the deployed state, and therefore, the airbag 21 is deployed downward along the surface on the vehicle interior side of the curtain 14 without entering between the curtain 14 and the window glass 12 a. As a result, the airbag 21 can exhibit a desired function.

Further, since the upper portion of the window shade 14 is supported by the rail member 14a fixed to the upper portion of the window glass 12a, it can be supported in a state of being close to the upper portion of the window glass 12a at all times. This can more reliably prevent the deployed airbag 21 from entering between the curtain 14 and the window glass 12 a.

Further, since the window blind 14 is supported by the rail members 14a, 14b extending in the vehicle front-rear direction mounted on the upper and lower portions of the window glass 12a, respectively, the entire window blind 14 is spread along the window glass 12 a. This allows the airbag 21 to be smoothly deployed along the window glass 12a via the curtain 14.

(embodiment 2)

In the above embodiment, the rail member as the support member of the window covering is fixed to the window glass by the double-sided adhesive tape, whereas in the present embodiment 2, the rail member is fixed to the vehicle body member.

Fig. 7 is a view of the rail member 114a (114b) in the mounted state according to the present embodiment, as viewed from the roof side of the vehicle. The rail members 114a (114b) extend in the vehicle front-rear direction, and support the window covering 114 in the horizontal direction. The rail member 114a (114b) is not fixed to the window glass 112a by a double-sided tape, but one end in the vehicle longitudinal direction is fixed to the pillar garnish 107a constituting the C-pillar 107 by a bolt 114D, and the other end is fixed to the pillar garnish 108a constituting the D-pillar 108 by a bolt 114D.

According to the present embodiment, since the rail members 114a, 114b are fixed to the pillar garnishes 107a, 108a in the vicinity of the side end portions of the window 112, they can be more firmly fixed than in the case of being fixed to the window glass 112a by double-sided adhesive tape. The present embodiment is effective when the window glass is of an open-close type.

In addition, when the fixing strength is not required to be considered, both ends of the rail member may be fixed to the two pillar garnishes by a double-sided adhesive tape. With this configuration, when the curtain is not attached to the window and the rail member is not fixed to the pillar garnish, the appearance of the pillar garnish can be kept good. That is, when the rail member is fixed to the pillar garnish with bolts, if the curtain and the rail member are not attached, the bolt holes formed in the pillar garnish are visible, which may deteriorate the appearance.

(embodiment 3)

In embodiment 1, both rail members as support members for supporting the window covering are fixed to the window glass, and in embodiment 2, both of the rail members are fixed to a pillar garnish as a vehicle body member. The present invention is not limited thereto. Embodiment 3 is an example in which one rail member is fixed to a window glass and the other rail member is fixed to a vehicle body member.

Fig. 8 is a view of the rail members 214a and 214b in the mounted state according to the present embodiment, as viewed from the vehicle front-rear direction.

Upper rail member 214a extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction and is fixed to an upper portion of window glass 212a (fixed by a double-sided tape as in embodiment 1). The lower rail member 214b is fixed to the rear wheel house cover garnish 235 (by double-sided tape or by bolts as in embodiment 2). The rear wheel house trim 235 extends in the vehicle front-rear direction, and is located below the window 212.

Further, the present invention is not limited to this, and one of the rail members may be attached to the upper portion of the window glass, and both ends of the other rail member in the vehicle front-rear direction may be attached to the two pillar garnishes.

This embodiment is effective in the case where it is difficult to attach both rail members to the window glass or the vehicle body member.

(embodiment 4)

Embodiment 4 is an example in which both rail members are firmly fixed to a vehicle body member other than a pillar garnish.

Fig. 9 is a view of the rail members 314a and 314b in the mounted state according to the present embodiment, as viewed from the vehicle front-rear direction.

The upper side rail member 314a is fixed to an inner panel 333b constituting a part of the roof side rail 333. The roof side rail 333 extends in the vehicle front-rear direction, and supports the upper end of the window glass 312 a. Specifically, a part of the inner panel 333b extends toward the vehicle compartment side (window 312) above the window glass 312 a. To which a rail member 314a is fixed.

On the other hand, the lower-side rail member 314b is fixed to an inner panel 334b constituting a part of the rear fender 334. The rear fender 334 supports the lower end of the window glass 312 a. Specifically, a part of the inner panel 334b extends toward the vehicle compartment side (the window 312) below the window glass 312 a. To which a rail member 314b is fixed.

This embodiment is effective in the case where the window blind is always mounted to the window instead of being selectively mounted to the window. The rail member can be firmly fixed so as not to be detachable.

(embodiment 5)

Embodiment 5 is an example in which the rail member fixed to the window glass is not seen from the vehicle exterior side.

Fig. 10 is a view of the rail members 414a and 414b in the mounted state according to embodiment 5, as viewed from the vehicle front-rear direction.

The two rail members 414a, 414b are fixed to a ceramic coating 412b coated on the periphery of the vehicle compartment side surface of the window glass 412, for example, with a double-sided adhesive tape or the like. In other words, the portions of the window glass to which the rail members 414a, 414b are attached are treated to prevent the rail members 414a, 414b from being exposed to the outside of the vehicle.

According to embodiment 5, the presence of the ceramic coating 412b makes it impossible to see the rail members 414a and 414b from the outside of the vehicle, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

In addition, the above example is not limited to the ceramic coating, and as another example, as shown in fig. 11, two rail members 514a and 514b may be fixed to a colored film 512b such as an infrared ray shielding film or the like which is attached to the vehicle compartment side surface of the window glass 512 a. As described above, the presence of the colored film 512b makes the rail members 514a and 514b invisible from the outside of the vehicle, as in the case of the ceramic coating, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

(embodiment 6)

Embodiment 6 is an example of a case where interference between the airbag to be deployed and the rail member is likely to occur.

Fig. 12 is a view of a rail member according to an example of embodiment 6 as viewed from the vehicle front-rear direction.

As shown in fig. 12, the rail member 614a extends in the vehicle front-rear direction, and supports the window covering 614 in a suspended state. Therefore, the rail member 614a may directly contact the airbag in deployment, as compared to the rail member that supports a portion slightly below the upper end of the window covering in the horizontal direction as shown in fig. 2. If the airbag catches on the guide rail member, smooth deployment of the airbag may be hindered.

As a countermeasure against this, an interference preventing member 614e for preventing the airbag 621 that is deployed from interfering with the rail member 614a, that is, for preventing the airbag 621 from directly contacting the rail member 614a, is provided at an upper portion of the rail member 614 a. The interference prevention member 614e has a function of assisting the airbag 621 to deploy toward the vehicle interior side in addition to preventing interference, that is, the interference prevention member 614e guides the airbag 621 toward the vehicle interior side by abutting against the airbag 621 that has deployed toward the guide rail member 614 a. The interference prevention member 614e has a guide surface 614 e' inclined in the vehicle interior direction so as to be located more inside the vehicle interior as it goes downward in order to guide the airbag 621 to the vehicle interior. The interference prevention member 614e prevents the airbag 621 from interfering with the rail member 614a, and also changes the deployment direction of the airbag 621 from the direction toward the rail member 614a to the direction toward the vehicle interior.

Needless to say, the interference preventing member 614e is prevented from coming into contact with the side end 632a of the ceiling 632 that has moved due to the deployment of the airbag 621 (the rail member 614a is fixed to the window glass 612a in a position that takes this into account).

According to the present embodiment 6, in the case where the rail member 614a is located at a position where interference with the deployed airbag 621 is likely to occur, the interference is prevented by the interference prevention member 614e provided at the upper portion of the rail member 614 a.

Although the rail member 614a provided with the interference preventing member 614e supports the window covering 614 in a suspended state in the above-described embodiment 6, the rail member may be a rail member 914a that horizontally supports the window covering described in embodiments 1 to 5, as shown in fig. 15. However, as shown in fig. 15, when the interference preventing member 914e provided in the rail member 914a includes the guide surface 914 e', as in the interference preventing member 614e of embodiment 6, it is preferable that the upper end of the window blind 914 is horizontally supported by the rail member 914 a. This is because, as in embodiments 1 to 5, if the upper end of the curtain is supported by the rail member at a slightly lower portion, the curtain interferes with the airbag guided in the vehicle interior direction by the guide surface.

(7 th embodiment)

Embodiment 7 is an example in which the support member of the window covering is not a rail member.

Figure 13 illustrates the use of snaps 714a as a support member for the window covering 714. The snap 714a includes a male (or female) snap 714a 'fixed to the window glass 712 and a snap 714a "mounted on the curtain 714 and engaged with the snap 714 a'.

According to the 7 th embodiment, the snap 714a has the same function as the above-described rail member, and the blind can be easily detached from the window when the blind is not needed.

In addition, in the case of using the snap fastener as the support member of the curtain, it is preferable to use a support member (for example, a planar fastener or the like) which can easily come off the curtain when the airbag abuts on the curtain. Further, if the deployed airbag may interfere with the support member, it is preferable to provide an interference prevention member 814e having a guide surface 814 e' on the upper portion of the support member (snap button 814a) as in embodiment 6, as shown in fig. 14. At this time, the interference preventing member 814e guides the airbag 821 with the guide surface 814 e' thereof, thereby helping the airbag 821 to be deployed toward the vehicle interior side and preventing the airbag 821 from coming into direct contact with the snap 814 a.

In embodiments 1 to 6, the number of rail members as the support member of the window curtain is two, but if the window glass is glass that spreads substantially in the vertical direction, the rail member may be one rail member that is fixed only to the upper portion of the glass. In this case, even if the lower portion of the curtain is not supported by the rail member fixed to the lower portion of the window glass, the curtain spreads along the window glass, and the airbag can be smoothly deployed.

(embodiment 8)

Embodiment 8 will be described with reference to fig. 16 to 21.

In the present embodiment, the airbag device 20 is provided with tether (tether)24, 25 having a belt shape. One end portions of tethers 24, 25 are fixed to the a-pillar 5 and the D-pillar (rear pillar) 8, respectively, and the other end portions are attached to the front end portion and the rear end portion of the airbag 21, respectively.

The rear end portion of the airbag 21 extends into the D-pillar 8, and as shown in fig. 19A and 19B, is covered with a garnish (rear pillar garnish) 8c of the D-pillar 8 from the vehicle interior side. The rear end portion of the airbag 21 is fixed to the vehicle body in a state of being disposed along a predetermined portion of the D-pillar 8 (here, the front side portion of the pillar 8) in the stored state.

In the stored state of the airbag 21, the tethers 24 and 25 are stored so that the extending direction thereof is substantially along the extending direction of the a-pillar 5 and the D-pillar 8, respectively.

When the airbag 21 is deployed, as shown by the two-dot chain lines in fig. 16 and 17, the tethers 24 and 25 extend in the vehicle front-rear direction, and pull the airbag 21. The tethers 24, 25 form tension lines in the vehicle front-rear direction of the airbag 21, and apply tension to the airbag 21 in order to improve occupant protection performance.

Fig. 20 shows a cross section corresponding to the X-X arrow in fig. 19A. As shown in fig. 19A, 19B, and 20, two vehicle body side snap members (holding members) 15a and 15a (hereinafter, simply referred to as snap members 15a) are provided at upper and lower positions in the vicinity of a front edge portion 8 c' of the garnish 8c, that is, in the vicinity of a rear edge portion of the rear window 12. On the other hand, two curtain side snap members 15b, 15b (hereinafter, simply referred to as snap members 15b) are attached to the vehicle outer side of the rear end portion of the curtain 14 so as to correspond to the vehicle body side snap members 15a, 15 a.

When the respective snap members 15b, 15b are engaged with the corresponding snap members 15a, respectively, the rear end portion of the window covering 14 is held at a predetermined position. In fig. 20, the upper rail members 14a and 14b are not shown for convenience of illustration.

However, as shown in fig. 20, the C-pillar 7 and the D-pillar 8 have a closed cross-sectional structure composed of outer plates 7a, 8a and inner plates 7b, 8 b. The vehicle interior sides of the C-pillar 7 and the D-pillar 8 are covered with pillar garnishes 7C, 8C. The snap member 15a is attached to the vehicle body side (inner panel 8b) by a bracket 17 (holding bracket) made of resin. The bracket 17 is fixed to the inner panel 8b of the D-pillar 8 by a fixing member 16 including a bolt and a nut.

Specifically, the bracket 17 has a rear end portion fixed to the inner panel 8b by the fixing member 16, and a front end portion extending forward so as to substantially follow the window glass 12a of the rear window 12. The front end of the bracket 17 is exposed to the vehicle compartment side through a gap between the inner panel 8b and the garnish 8 c. The snap member 15a is attached to the tip of the bracket 17. This makes it possible for the occupant to easily perform the operation of connecting and disconnecting the snap members 15a and 15b in the vehicle interior.

As shown in fig. 20, the rear end portion of the airbag 21 is housed in a space formed between the inner panel 8b of the D-pillar 8 and the garnish 8 c. As shown in fig. 21, the airbag 21 deploys while deforming the front edge portion 8c 'of the garnish 8c toward the vehicle interior, and deploys forward along the window glass 12a from the gap G in the vicinity of the front edge portion 8 c' of the garnish 8c formed by the deformation.

In embodiment 8, as shown in fig. 21, the rear end portion of the window shade 14 covering the rear window 12 is held at a position further to the vehicle outside than the front edge portion 8 c' of the garnish 8c by the engagement of the snap members 15a and 15 b. In other words, the rear end portion of the curtain 14 is held at a position further to the vehicle outside than the deployed position of the airbag 21 by the above-described coupling.

Therefore, when the airbag 21 is deployed, the curtain 14 is positioned further to the vehicle outside than the airbag 21, and the curtain 14 does not interfere with the forward deployment of the airbag 21. As a result, the airbag 21 is smoothly deployed from the rear toward the vehicle interior side, and the purpose of protecting the occupant is achieved.

In addition, in the present embodiment 8, the tether 25 (see fig. 16 and 17) is deployed toward the vehicle compartment side from the gap G that occurs with the deployment of the rear end portion of the airbag 21, but with the above configuration, the deployment of the tether 25 is not hindered by the curtain 14.

In addition, in embodiment 8, by providing the snap member 15a on the bracket 17 extending from the inner panel 8b of the D-pillar 8 toward the vehicle front side, the snap member 15 can be firmly fixed to the vehicle body side by the bracket 17, and the rear end portion of the window covering 14 can be firmly held without being shaken.

(embodiment 9)

Next, embodiment 9 shown in fig. 22A, 22B, and 23 will be described. Fig. 22A and 22B are front views showing the rear window 12 according to embodiment 9, and fig. 23 is a cross-sectional view taken along the arrow direction of the line Y-Y in fig. 22A.

In the present embodiment 9, a snap member 115a corresponding to the snap member 15a of the above-described embodiment 8 is fixed to the inner surface of the window glass 12a in the vicinity of the front edge portion 8 c' of the garnish 8c, that is, in the vicinity of the rear edge portion of the rear window 12, by a double-sided tape.

In the present embodiment 9 as well, similarly to the embodiment 8, the rear end portion of the window covering 14 that covers the rear window 12 is held at a position further to the vehicle outside than the front edge portion 8 c' of the garnish 8c and further to the vehicle outside than the deployed position of the airbag 21 or tether 25 by the engagement of the snap members 115a, 15b, as shown in fig. 23.

Thus, according to embodiment 9, the curtain 14 can be prevented from interfering with the deployment of the rear end portion of the airbag 21. In particular, by directly attaching the snap member 115a to the window glass 12a, the snap member 115a can be provided without using a special member such as the bracket 17 of embodiment 8, and the number of parts and cost can be reduced.

(embodiment 10)

Next, the 10 th embodiment shown in fig. 24A, 24B to 27 will be described.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 24A and 24B, the belt-shaped elastic member 114c is attached to the window covering 14 in a state of extending in the vehicle front-rear direction. The elastic member 114c allows the front end of the curtain 14 to be biased rearward, and allows the rear end of the curtain 14 to be biased forward. In the present embodiment, the potential energy applied is the potential energy applied by the urging force of the elastic member, but it may be applied by gas pressure, electric power, or the like.

As shown in fig. 24A, 24B, and 25, a snap member 215a corresponding to the snap member 15a of the 8 th embodiment is supported by the 3 rd rail members 220 and 220. These 3 rd rail members 220, 220 are fixed to the window pane 12a in the vicinity of the front edge portion 8 c' of the garnish 8c, that is, in the vicinity of the rear edge portion of the rear window 12. The window covering 14 is fastened to the 3 rd rail member 220 by the snap member 215a and the snap member 15b coupled to the snap member 215 a. The snap member 215a and the 3 rd rail member 220 function as a holding member for holding the window covering 14.

Specifically, the snap member 215a is attached to a slider 219, and the slider 219 is engaged with the 3 rd rail members 220, 220 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction so as to be slidable in the vehicle front-rear direction.

Here, the 3 rd rail part 220 has a C-shaped cross section as shown in fig. 26B. As shown in fig. 26A, the 3 rd rail member 220 is provided with a locking portion 220a, and the locking portion 220a restricts the passage of the slider 219 by cutting and raising the bottom surface to narrow the interval through which the slider 219 passes, and locks the slider 219 at the rear position of the 3 rd rail member 220.

The cut and raised portion of the locking portion 220a functions as a spring. When the occupant pulls the front end of the window covering 14 forward to cover the rear window 12, the locking portion 220a maintains the locked state of the slider 219 to prevent the forward movement thereof. On the other hand, when a load larger than the operation force applied by the occupant acts on the snap member 215a from behind, the locking portion 220a is recessed to allow passage of the slider 219, and the locked state of the slider 219 is released. At this time, the joint between the snap member 215a and the snap member 15b and the rear end of the curtain 14 move forward by the energizing force of the elastic member 114c of the curtain 14.

Therefore, when the airbag 21 and the deployment member such as the tether 25 are deployed in a state where the slider 219 is engaged with the locking portion 220a and the airbag 21 presses the joining portions of the snap members 215a and 15b from behind, the locked state of the slider 219 is released as shown in fig. 27 based on the deployment pressing force. Then, the joint portion between the snap member 215a and the snap member 15b and the rear end portion of the window shade 14 move forward by the synergistic effect of the expansion pressing force and the force of the elastic member 114c to impart the potential energy.

As described above, as the deployment member including the airbag 21 is deployed, the engagement between the curtain 14 and the 3 rd rail member 220 is released, and the rear end portion of the curtain 14 moves forward from the D-pillar 8, whereby the curtain 14 can be more reliably prevented from interfering with the deployment of the deployment member.

(embodiment 11)

When the engagement state of the rear end portion of the curtain 14 is released in association with the deployment of the deployment member including the airbag 21, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the case where the deployment pressure of the airbag 21 or the like is used as in the above-described embodiment 10. For example, as shown in fig. 28, a solenoid 300 may be provided in the snap member 15a, and the engagement between the snap members 15a and 15b may be forcibly released based on the operation of the solenoid 300.

In the present embodiment 11, when an impact load from the side of the vehicle body acts or when it is predicted that there will be an impact load, a control signal can be transmitted from a controller (not shown) that controls the inflator 23 to the solenoid 300. Based on the control signal, the coil 300a is energized, and the solenoid 300 drives the plunger 300b as indicated by the two-dot chain line in the figure.

In the above configuration, when an impact load from the side of the vehicle body is applied or predicted to occur when the snap member 15a and the snap member 15b are coupled, the inflator 23 is operated, the deployment member such as the airbag 21 starts to be deployed, and immediately after the plunger 300b is driven, the coupling of the snap members 15a and 15b, that is, the engagement of the snap member 15a and the curtain 14 is forcibly released. At this time, the deployment pressure of the airbag 21 and the force of the elastic member 114c (see fig. 24A and 24B) that imparts the potential energy act in cooperation with each other, and as a result, the rear end portion of the curtain 14 moves forward, as in the case of embodiment 10.

In the above embodiments, the snap member is used as the coupling member for coupling the curtain to the vehicle body side in order to hold the rear end portion of the curtain, but the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. The coupling member may be formed of a cloth tape or a claw fitting member as long as the coupling member can be coupled to and separated from each other in accordance with an appropriate operation of the occupant or deployment of the deployment member.

(embodiment 12)

Next, embodiment 12 shown in fig. 29 to 34 will be described.

In embodiment 12, the curtains 131, 141, and 151 covering the window glasses 9a, 10a, and 11a of the side doors 9 and 10 and the back door 11 from the inside of the vehicle compartment are attached so as to be vertically extendable and retractable along a horizontal folding line. As shown in fig. 30B, the left and right side ends of the window curtain 141 of the side door 10 are supported by rail members 161, 161 extending in the vertical direction, respectively, and the rail members 161, 161 are attached to the vicinities of the side ends of the rear window 12 on the C pillar 7 and the D pillar 8 positioned in front of and behind the rear window 12, respectively. Fig. 30A shows a state where the rear window 12 is covered with the window covering 141, and fig. 30B shows a state where the rear window 12 is opened.

The curtain 141 is unfolded by moving its upper end 141a upward in a state where its lower end is fixed, thereby shielding the rear window 12. The curtain 141 is retracted by moving its upper end portion 141a downward, thereby opening the window 12. Here, the upper end portion 141a of the window curtain 141 is reinforced with a wire or the like or formed of a hard material in consideration of shape retention or operability at the time of opening and closing.

Fig. 31 shows a structure of the rear window 12 to which the curtain 141 is attached.

As shown in fig. 31 to 33, the rail members 161 and 161 supporting the window blind 141 are attached to the garnishes 7C and 8C of the C-pillar 7 and the D-pillar 8 in a state of facing each other in the vicinity of the window glass 12 a. As shown in fig. 31, the upper end of the rail member 161 is set to a slightly lower position in order to avoid interference with the deformation of the ceiling-side end 32a in the a direction.

The rail member 161 has a C-shaped cross section and is fixed to the pillar garnishes 7C, 8C at a plurality of positions by screws 171. The curtain hooks 181.. 181 are engaged with the rail members 161 so as to be slidable vertically. The curtain 14 is hooked with the curtain hooks 181.. 181 at a plurality of positions on the side. Thus, the left and right side portions of the window curtain 141 can move up and down under the guide of the rail members 161, 161. A curtain hook 181 to which the lower end of the curtain 141 is hooked is fixed to the rail member 161 so that the lower portion of the curtain 141 does not move upward.

As shown in fig. 33, a holding portion 161a is provided at an upper end portion of the rail member 161, and the holding portion 161a restricts the passage of the curtain hook 181 by cutting and raising a bottom surface thereof to narrow a space through which the curtain hook 181 passes, thereby locking the curtain hook 181 at a position above the rail member 161.

The cut and raised portion of the holding portion 161a functions as a spring. When the occupant lifts or lowers the upper portion of the window covering 141, the holding portion 161a is recessed based on the operating force of the occupant to allow the passage of the curtain hook 181, and when the curtain hook 181 passes upward, the holding portion 161a engages with the curtain hook 181 to prevent the window covering 141 from falling due to its own weight.

In a state where the curtain hook 181 is engaged with the holding portion 161a, when the airbag 21 that has been deployed downward comes into contact with the upper portion of the curtain 141 and a predetermined force is applied to the curtain 141 from above by the airbag 21, the locked state of the curtain hook 181 by the holding portion 161a is released, and the curtain hook 181 and the curtain 141 move downward.

Thus, the curtain 141 is rapidly retracted downward in accordance with the deployment of the airbag 21, and the downward deployment of the airbag 21 is not hindered. As a result, as shown in fig. 34, the airbag 21 is smoothly deployed downward, and the purpose of protecting the occupant is achieved.

(embodiment 13)

The embodiment 13 will be described with reference to fig. 35 and 36. In this embodiment, the upper end of the curtain 142 is fixed, and the curtain 142 opens or closes the rear window 12 by moving the lower end 142a up and down.

In this configuration, in order that the fixing of the upper end portion of the curtain 14 does not interfere with the deployment of the airbag 21, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 36, the 1 st holding portion 162a and the 2 nd holding portion 162b are provided on the upper portion of the rail member 162 that supports the side portion of the curtain 142. The 1 st holding portion 162a is engaged with a curtain hook 182a hooked on the upper end of the curtain 142. The 2 nd holding portion 162b is engaged with a curtain hook 182b that is hooked to the lowermost portion of the curtain 142 in a state where the lower end portion 142a of the curtain 142 is moved upward (a state where the rear window 12 is opened).

These holding portions 162a and 162b are normally engaged with the curtain hooks 182a and 182b to hold the curtain 142 in a state of covering the rear window 12 or in a state of opening the rear window 12. When the airbag 21 that has been deployed downward comes into contact with the upper portion of the curtain 142 and a predetermined force is applied from above to the curtain 142 by the airbag 21, the engagement between the 1 st holding portion 162a and the uppermost curtain hook 182a is released, allowing the upper curtain hook 182c to pass downward, and the engagement between the 2 nd holding portion 162b and the lowermost curtain hook 182b is released, allowing the upper curtain hooks 182a and 182b and the curtain hook 182c provided between the curtain hooks 182a and 182b to pass downward.

Therefore, when the curtain airbag device 20 is operated and the airbag 21 is deployed and contacts the upper portion of the curtain 142, the curtain hooks 182a, 182b, and 182c slide downward along the rail members 162 and 162, and the curtain 142 moves downward. This allows the airbag 21 to be deployed satisfactorily without being obstructed by the curtain 142.

(embodiment 14)

Fig. 37 is a partial configuration diagram of embodiment 14.

In the 14 th embodiment, the curtain hook 183 is hooked to the side end of the curtain 143, unlike the 13 th embodiment.

(embodiment 15)

In the 15 th embodiment shown in fig. 38 and 39, a snap fastener is used as a support member for supporting the window covering 144 instead of the rail member. In the present embodiment 15, the lower ends of both side portions of the window covering 144 are fixed to the rear edge portion 7C 'of the C-pillar garnish 7C and the front edge portion 8C' of the D-pillar garnish 8C by the fixing members 174, respectively. A plurality of garnish-side snap members 164a.. 164a are attached to the rear edge portion 7c 'of the garnish 7c and the front edge portion 8 c' of the garnish 8c, respectively, so as to be vertically aligned above the fixing portion of the curtain 144. Curtain side snap fastener members 164b.. 164b, which are paired with these garnish side snap fastener members 164a.. 164a, are attached to the respective corresponding positions on both side portions of the curtain 144.

According to the present embodiment 15, if the window shade 144 having the lower ends of both side portions fixed to the garnishes 7c and 8c is expanded upward and the respective window shade side snap members 164b.. 164b are coupled to the corresponding garnish side snap members 164a.. 164a, the rear window 12 is shielded by the window shade 144. When the window covering 144 is retracted and the uppermost window covering side snap fastener members 164b, 164b are coupled to the middle-height garnish side snap fastener members 164a, the rear window 12 is opened in accordance with the coupling position. Thus, the window covering 144 may be supported to cover or uncover the rear window 12.

The curtain 144 is released from the supporting state by separating the garnish side snap member 164a and the curtain side snap member 164b from each other by an external force. Therefore, when the curtain airbag device 20 is operated and the airbag 21 abuts on the upper portion of the curtain 144 in a state where the curtain 144 shields the rear window 12, the support of the curtain 144 is released. As a result, as in the above embodiments, at least the upper portion of the curtain 144 moves downward, and the airbag 144 can be deployed satisfactorily.

In the present embodiment 15, the lower ends of both side portions of the window covering 144 may be fixed by the fixing members 174 and 174, and the lower ends may be detachable by snap members. With this configuration, the rear window 12 can be opened by moving the lower end of the curtain 144 upward. With this structure, the upper portion or the entire portion of the window covering 144 moves downward by releasing the engagement of the respective snap members by the deployment of the airbag 21.

Further, in order to assist the downward movement of the curtain when the airbag 21 comes into contact with the upper portion of the curtain, a potential energy applying device for applying a potential energy downward to the curtain may be provided.

The 16 th embodiment shown in fig. 40 to 46 will be explained.

Fig. 42A and 42B show a state where the rear window 12 is covered with the window covering 241 and a state where the rear window 12 is opened, respectively, fig. 43 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view in the direction of an arrow drawn from X1 to X1 in fig. 42A, fig. 44 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view in the direction of an arrow drawn from X2 to X2 in fig. 42B, and fig. 45 shows an enlarged cross-sectional view in the direction of an arrow drawn from Y1 to Y1 in fig. 42A. As shown in fig. 42A, 42B and 44, the window shade 241 is wound around the roller member 217 so as to be freely windable, is built in the rear wheel house trim 35 (hereinafter, simply referred to as the trim 35) at the lower portion of the rear window 12, and is vertically movable via an opening portion 35a of the trim 35 formed below the rear window 12.

In a state where the curtain 214 is fixed to the roller member 217 at the lower end portion thereof, the upper end portion 241a as a free end moves upward, thereby shielding the rear window 12 as shown in fig. 41, 42A, and 43. Then, the curtain 214 is moved downward by the upper end portion 241a thereof, thereby opening the window 12 as shown in fig. 40, 42B, and 44.

In the present embodiment, the upper end portion 241a of the curtain 241 is formed of a hard material such as resin, and has a substantially inverted V-shape when viewed from the front, so that the shape of the curtain 241 can be maintained and good operability in opening and closing can be achieved. The upper end portion 241a is formed with an inclined portion (inclined member) 241b smoothly inclined downward into the vehicle interior.

Further, near the upper end 241a of the window shade 241, at two locations apart from each other in the vehicle longitudinal direction, locking portions 214c protruding toward the rear window 12 side are provided. In correspondence with these locking portions 241c, the rail-like support member 18 extending in the vertical direction near both front and rear side portions of the rear window 12 is fixed to the inner surface of the window glass 12 with a double-sided tape.

The support member 18 has a plurality of locking recesses 18a formed along the length (vertical) direction thereof. The curtain 214 is held at a predetermined position in the vertical direction by the engagement of the locking portion 241c of the curtain 214 with the locking recess 18 a. The support member 18 is disposed along the window glass 12a in accordance with the inclination thereof. Therefore, as shown in fig. 43 and 44, the locking recess 18a is located further toward the vehicle interior side than the upper end portion, and the locking recess 18a located at the uppermost end of the locking recess 18a is located closest to the vehicle interior side.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 43 and 44, the vehicle width direction outer edge portion 32a of the ceiling 32 is located further toward the vehicle interior side than the locking recess portion 18a of the support member 18 located at the uppermost end. In other words, the locking recess 18a of the support member 18 located at the uppermost end is provided further to the vehicle outside than the outer edge 32a of the ceiling 32 in the vehicle width direction.

As shown in fig. 42A, 42B, and 46, the roller member 217 for winding the window covering 241 includes: a cylindrical shaft portion 217a to which a base end portion of the curtain 241 is attached; and a bearing 217b for rotatably supporting both ends of the shaft 217 a. The shaft portion 217a is constantly biased to rotate in the direction in which the window shade 241 is wound by a coil spring (not shown). Therefore, the window shade 241 is in a state of being given potential energy always downward of the vehicle by the roller member 217. In the present embodiment, the potential energy applied is the potential energy applied by the urging force of the elastic member, but it may be applied by gas pressure, electric power, or the like.

Therefore, when the engagement between the locking portion 241c of the curtain 241 and the locking recess 18a of the support member 18 is released, the curtain 241 moves downward by the biasing force of the coil spring, and is wound around the roller member 217 and automatically stored in the garnish 35.

The window shade 241 wound around the roller member 217 extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction as shown in fig. 42A and 42B, and is housed in a window shade member 219 having a substantially U-shaped cross section as shown in fig. 43, 44, and 46. The head rail member 219 is a metal or resin member having predetermined rigidity, and as shown in fig. 46, includes: a recess 219a extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction and accommodating the roller member 217 in a state in which the roller member 217 is rotatably supported; a flange-like mounting portion 219b for mounting the headrail member 219 to the garnish 35.

The mounting portions 219b extend substantially horizontally from both ends of the recessed portion 219a in the vehicle width direction. The mounting portion 219b is fixed to the garnish 35 by a fixing member 219c (see fig. 46) including a bolt and a nut. Thus, the curtain rail member 219 is integrated with the vehicle body.

When the upper end portion 241a of the window shade 241 is lifted against the elastic force of the coil spring of the roller member 217, the window shade 241 is drawn out from the roller member 217 and is pulled toward the rear window 12 via the gap between the side wall portions of the box member 219 and the opening portion 35 a.

The window shade 241 drawn out from the roller member 217 is engaged with any one of the locking recesses 18a of the support member 18 by the locking portion 241c thereof, thereby shielding a desired range of the rear window 12.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the uppermost locking recess 18a of the support member 18 is disposed further to the vehicle outside than the vehicle width direction outer edge portion of the ceiling 32. Therefore, when the locking portion 241c of the curtain 241 is engaged with the locking recess 18a at the uppermost end, the curtain 241 is held at a position further to the vehicle outside than the vehicle width direction outer edge portion of the ceiling 32, as shown in fig. 43. Therefore, the curtain 241 does not interfere with the downward deployment of the airbag 21. As a result, as shown in fig. 43, the airbag 21 is smoothly deployed downward toward the vehicle interior side, and the purpose of protecting the occupant is achieved.

In the present embodiment, in a non-shielding state where the rear window 12 is not shielded by the window shade 241, the window shade 241 is incorporated in the garnish 35 at the lower portion of the rear window 12, thereby providing an effect of improving visibility of the vehicle from the outside.

Further, since the inclined portion 241b inclined downward toward the vehicle interior side is formed at the upper end portion 241a of the curtain 241, the occupant can easily open and close the curtain 241 by holding the inclined portion 241 b.

Further, the window shade 241 is a roller-shaped member that can be wound around the roller member 217, and thus the window shade 241 can be compactly housed in the garnish 35.

(embodiment 17)

The 17 th embodiment shown in fig. 47 and 48 will be explained.

In the present embodiment 17, the curtain 242 is formed in a corrugated shape which is folded along a horizontal fold line and is vertically stretchable. The curtain 242 is unfolded by moving its upper end 242a upward in a state where its lower end is fixed to the bottom surface of the curtain holder member 219, thereby shielding the rear window 12. The curtain 242 is contracted by moving its upper end portion 242a downward, thereby opening the rear window 12.

The curtain 242 is provided with an upper end 242a and a locking portion 242c, the upper end 242a corresponding to the upper end 241a of the curtain 241 according to the 16 th embodiment, and the locking portion 242c corresponding to the locking portion 241c of the curtain 241 according to the 16 th embodiment. By pulling the curtain 242 upward from the curtain box member 219 and engaging the engagement portion 242c with any one of the engagement recesses 18a of the support member 18, the curtain 242 is held at a predetermined position, and a desired range of the rear window 12 is shielded by the curtain 242.

Here, an elastic cord member 117 extending in the up-down direction, that is, the extending and contracting direction of the curtain 242 is fixed to the curtain 242. One end of the elastic cord member 117 is attached to the upper end 242a of the curtain 242, and the lower end of the curtain 242 and the other end of the elastic cord member 117 are fixed to the bottom surface of the curtain box member 219. The curtain 242 is constantly biased in a direction in which the upper end portion 242a moves downward by the elastic cord member 117. In the present embodiment, the potential energy applied is the potential energy applied by the urging force of the elastic member, but it may be applied by gas pressure, electric power, or the like.

When the upper end portion 242a moves downward by the biasing force of the elastic cord member 117, the curtain 242 contracts as shown in fig. 48 and is stored in the state of being folded in the curtain box member 219.

In a state where the curtain 242 is housed in the curtain box portion 219, the inclined portion 242b corresponding to the inclined portion 241b of the curtain 241 according to the above-described 16 th embodiment forms a substantially continuous surface together with the horizontal surface portion around the opening portion 35a of the garnish 35 as shown in fig. 48.

The curtain 242 is pulled from the opening 35a toward the rear window 12 through between both side wall portions of the curtain box member 219 by lifting the upper end portion 242a of the curtain 242 against the elastic force of the elastic cord member 117.

In the configuration shown in embodiment 17 as well, similarly to embodiment 16, the locking recess 18a positioned at the uppermost end of the locking recesses 18a is disposed further toward the vehicle outer side than the vehicle width direction outer edge portion of the ceiling 32, and by holding the curtain 242 at the vehicle outer side than the vehicle width direction outer edge portion of the ceiling 32, it is possible to avoid the curtain 242 from interfering with the downward deployment of the airbag 21.

In addition, in the present embodiment 17, in a non-shielding state in which the rear window 12 is not shielded by the window shade 242, the window shade 242 is incorporated in the garnish 35 at the lower portion of the rear window 12, thereby providing an effect of improving the visibility of the vehicle from the outside.

Other operational effects are similar to those of embodiment 16.

(embodiment 18)

In the present embodiment 18, as shown in fig. 49, the support members 218 are provided only in the vicinity of the front and rear edges and the upper edge of the rear window 12. At this time, the window shade 241 is held in either a state in which the locking portion 241c is locked to the locking recess 218a of the support member 218 to substantially completely shield the rear window 12; the locking of the locking portion 241c to the locking recess 218a is released, and the rear window 12 is completely opened.

In embodiment 20, as shown in fig. 52, the support member 418 is provided in the vicinity of the side end portion of the rear window 12 of the C-pillar 7 and the D-pillar 8 positioned in front of and behind the rear window 12.

As shown in fig. 52, the support member 418 has a locking recess 418a recessed in the vehicle front-rear direction. In place of the locking portion 241c according to the above-described embodiment 16, a hook-shaped locking portion 243c protruding in the vehicle longitudinal direction is attached to the upper end portion 243a of the window curtain 243 corresponding to the locking recess 418 a. The locking portion 243c can be engaged with the locking recess 418 a.

Here, the curtain 243 is held in a state of substantially completely shielding the window glass 12a by engagement of the locking portion 243c with the locking recess 418 a.

In embodiment 20, the member indicated by reference numeral 243b in the drawing is an inclined portion corresponding to the inclined portion 241b of the upper end portion 241a according to embodiment 16.

(embodiment 21)

The embodiment 21 shown in fig. 53 to 57 will be explained.

In the present embodiment 21, as shown in fig. 53 and 54, both right and left end portions of the window covering 244 are supported by rail members 518, 518 extending in the vertical direction. These rail members 518, 518 are attached to the C-pillar 7 and the D-pillar 8 near the side end portions of the rear window 12. Specifically, as shown in fig. 55A, a curtain hook 244c shown in fig. 55B is vertically slidably engaged with each of the rail members 518 and 518, and both side portions of the upper end portion 244a of the curtain 244 are hooked on the curtain hook 244 c. In embodiment 21, the rail member 518 corresponds to the support member 18 according to embodiment 16. The window covering 244 can be moved up and down by guiding the left and right sides thereof by the rail members 518, 518.

Here, an inclined portion 244b that is smoothly inclined downward toward the inside in the vehicle width direction is formed on the vehicle interior side of the upper end portion 244a of the curtain 244.

As in the case of embodiment 16, the window covering 244 is wound around the roller member 217 so as to be freely windable, and is built in the garnish 35. The curtain 244 can be lifted up and down through the opening 35a of the garnish 35 formed below the rear window 12.

As shown in fig. 55A and 55B, the rail member 518 has a C-shaped cross section. The rail member 518 is fixed to the pillar garnishes 7c, 8c at a plurality of positions by screws 520, 520.

The rail member 518 is provided with a holding portion 518a, and the holding portion 518a cuts and rises the bottom surface to narrow the interval through which the curtain hook 244c passes, thereby restricting the passage of the curtain hook 244c and locking the curtain hook 244c at a predetermined position. A plurality of the holding portions 518a are provided at substantially equal intervals in the vertical direction. These holding portions 518a lock the curtain hook 244c at its upper position.

The cut and raised portion of the holding portion 518a functions as a spring. When the occupant raises and lowers the upper portion of the window curtain 244, the holding portion 518a is recessed based on the operating force of the occupant to allow passage of the window curtain hook 244 c. When the curtain hook 244c passes upward, the holding portion 518a engages with the curtain hook 244c to prevent the curtain 244 from falling due to its own weight and the biasing force of the coil spring of the roller member 217.

In a state where the curtain hook 244c is engaged with the holding portion 518a, when the airbag 21 that has been deployed downward comes into contact with the upper portion of the curtain 244 and a predetermined force is applied to the curtain 244 from above by the airbag 21, the locked state of the curtain hook 244c by the holding portion 518a is released, and the curtain hook 244c and the curtain 244 move downward by the force of the biasing force of the coil spring of the roller member 217.

In the present embodiment 21, as shown in fig. 54, the rail member 518 is disposed further to the vehicle outside than the vehicle width direction outer edge portion of the ceiling 32.

Therefore, when the curtain hook 244c of the curtain 244 is engaged with the locking recess 18a, the curtain 244 is held at the vehicle outer side with respect to the vehicle width direction outer edge portion of the ceiling 32 as shown in fig. 54.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 57, when the airbag 21 is deployed, the curtain 244 does not interfere with the downward deployment of the airbag 21. As a result, the airbag 21 is smoothly deployed downward toward the vehicle interior side, and the purpose of protecting the occupant is achieved.

Further, by forming the inclined portion 244B inclined downward toward the vehicle interior side at the upper end portion 244a of the curtain 244, the airbag 21 that is deployed into the vehicle interior via the gap B between the ceiling 32 and the window glass 12a is guided to the vehicle interior side along the surface of the inclined portion 244B when the airbag 21 is deployed. Therefore, the interference of the deployed airbag 21 with the rail member 518 can be prevented.

(embodiment 22)

In embodiment 22, as shown in fig. 58, a spring (elastic member) 245d that can expand and contract in the vehicle longitudinal direction is incorporated in the upper portion of the window covering 245, and the longitudinal length of the window covering 245 can be adjusted.

In embodiment 22, the rear window 622 (window glass 622a) is not rectangular as in the rear window 12 according to embodiment 16 and the like. As shown in fig. 58, the front-rear width of the rear window 622 varies in the vertical direction. The window covering 245 is supported by rail members 618, 618 extending in the up-down direction. These rail members 618 and 618 are attached to the vicinity of the side end portions of the rear window 622 of the C-pillar 607 (pillar garnish 607C) and the D-pillar 608 (pillar garnish 608C) positioned in front of and behind the rear window 622. A curtain hook 245c (see fig. 59) which is slidable in the vertical direction is engaged with each of the rail members 618 and 618, the curtain hook 245c corresponds to the curtain hook 244c according to embodiment 21, and both side portions of the upper end of the curtain 245 are hooked to the curtain hook 245 c. The curtain 245 can move up and down by guiding the left and right side portions thereof by the rail members 618, 618.

The rail member 618 is provided with a holding portion 618a, and the holding portion 618a corresponds to the holding portion 518a of the rail member 518 according to embodiment 21. The curtain 245 is held in a shielding state by the engagement of the holding portion 618a with the curtain hook 245 c.

The window covering 245 incorporates a plurality of springs 245d that are extendable and retractable in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. These springs 245d can adjust the length of the window covering 245 in accordance with the tensile force in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Frame members 245e extending in a vertically long plate shape are attached to both ends of the curtain member 245 in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Both ends of each spring 245d are connected to these frame members 245 e.

In the present embodiment 22, when the window covering 245 moves up and down along the rail members 618, the distance between the rail members 518 changes according to the height position of the window covering 245. Thereby, the distance between the frame members 245e changes, and the spring length of the spring 245d changes according to the distance between the frame members 245 e. As a result, the front-rear length of the curtain 245 changes. With this configuration, the entire rear window 622 can be covered with the window covering 245, even if it is not rectangular.

In the present embodiment 22, when the engagement between the holding portion 618a and the curtain hook 245c is released, the curtain hook 245c and the curtain 245 move downward by the biasing force of the coil spring of the roller member 217, and the curtain 245 is wound around the roller member 217. Therefore, the frame member 245e preferably has a flexibility to the extent that it can be deformed into a roller shape by the energizing force of the coil spring of the roller member 217.

Here, the upper end portion of the curtain 245 according to embodiment 22 does not have a structure like the upper end portion 241a of the curtain 241 according to embodiment 16 in order to enable adjustment of the length in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Instead, operation portions 245b and 245b made of resin are attached to both end portions of the curtain 245. As shown in fig. 59, the operating portion 245b has an inclined surface inclined downward toward the vehicle interior side, similarly to the inclined portion 241b of the upper end portion 241a of the window covering 241 according to embodiment 16. The inclined surface guides the airbag 21, which is continuously deployed into the vehicle compartment, to the vehicle compartment side when the airbag 21 is deployed, so as to prevent the deployed airbag 21 from interfering with the rail member 618.

(embodiment 23)

In embodiment 23, a blind window 246 in which a plurality of shield plates 246A extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction are connected by a connecting cord 246d as shown in fig. 60 and 61 is used instead of the curtain 241 and the like of embodiment 16.

The louver 246 has a plurality of shielding plates 246A extending in a long plate shape in the vehicle longitudinal direction and arranged in a row in the vertical direction, and both ends in the vehicle longitudinal direction are connected by a common connecting cord 246d extending in the vertical direction. When the occupant pulls the upper end portion 246A in the vehicle longitudinal direction, the adjacent shield plates 246A are shifted in the vehicle longitudinal direction in a step shape, and the louver 246 has a substantially parallelogram shape as shown in the drawing.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 60, even when the rear window 722 (window glass 722a) has a parallelogram shape rather than a rectangular shape due to the pillars 707 (pillar garnish 707c) and 708(708c) formed obliquely, the substantially entire rear window 722 can be covered with the louver 246.

As shown in fig. 60, the blind 246 is wound around the roller member 217 so as to be freely windable, as in the window shade 241 according to embodiment 16, and is built in the garnish 35. The louver 246 is vertically movable through the opening 35 a. Then, the louver 246 is in a state of being constantly energized downward of the vehicle by the roller member 217.

Near an upper end 246a of louver 246, a locking portion 246c is provided, and this locking portion 246c corresponds to the locking portion 241c of curtain 241 according to embodiment 16. Near both front and rear side portions of the rear window 722, the support member 718 according to embodiment 16 is provided corresponding to the locking portions 246 c. The support member 718 is formed with a locking recess 718a, and the locking recess 718a corresponds to the locking recess 18a according to embodiment 16.

As shown in fig. 60, a guide roller 730 is provided on one end side of the opening 35 a. When engagement between locking portion 246c of louver 246 and locking recess 718a of support member 718 is released, louver 246 is forcibly moved downward by the biasing force of the coil spring. At this time, one end side of the shielding plate 246A contacts the guide roller 730, and the guide roller 730 is driven to rotate. As the guide roller 730 rotates, each shield plate 246A is appropriately guided to the opening 35 a. As a result, louver 246 is appropriately wound by roller member 217.

(embodiment 24)

In embodiment 24, as shown in fig. 62, a magnet is used as the support member 818. This enables the range in which the window shade 241 shields the rear window 12 to be adjusted more finely. Further, since the locking recess 18a does not need to be formed as in the support member 18 according to embodiment 16, the support member itself can be easily molded.
